    Im am trying to id this vine growing in our garden in Kittery ME. It is opposite compound leaves With a few tiny teeth on leaf edge. I have not seen any flowers on.

    Answer

    Dear dillon_shaun@yahoo.dk, you have photographed a native species of Parthenocissus, a genus of lianas belonging to the grape family. I can't see the adhesive disks well enough, but the short petioules suggest this is Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper).
